Ground Zero - Intellectual

[Intro]

Where's your happiness, lie?

I prayed to God that he could make me whole

That he would take away my pain and let me save my soul

In attempt to find a way to keep us safe and snug, I end up parked inside a grave from all I made

And now my body filled with hate and drugs

So now I'm dusting off my kicks and cleaning dirt out of my wounds

Still debating if this life I chased gon' work me 'til I'm doomed

Still evading all this trauma that exists inside my mind

Uncle Cedric's face looks clearest every time I close my eyes

And lately, I've been lacking sleep because these dreams I have been forcing self-reflection

Of course, I see progression, but the course we on aggressive

I'm like porcelain, I look good 'til my torso break from stressing

Getting closer to my source of fear distorts my whole perspective

Death been ready in my thoughts, but I ain't chose to leave

My chest been heavy with a lot, but how I'm 'pose to breathe

The more I gain, the less I think about my lows

The war within my brain got me convinced I'll be exposed

Desperation plays it part, I can't be trapped amongst the weeds

I done lost the ones I love over my passions to succeed

I done tossed the world I planned to grow to trash bins to exceed

And saw the damage of my actions scar the people that I need

This is the story of the man who fell from grace

The man who rose from concrete in attempt to change his fate

The man covered in bruises at the step of heaven's gate

Searched for purpose and acceptance 'til he finally found his place

This is the story of the man who fell from grace

The man who rose from concrete in attempt to change his fate

The man covered in bruises at the step of heaven's gate

Searched for purpose and acceptance 'til he finally found his place
